"What are you doing here?" said Rafe, as Alison turned around to look at Livvie, fear taking over.
"I was so upset that this is a celebration of the coming of a child, and the father was not invited," he said looking at Alison with a smirk on his face. "You see, Olivia here made a wish-a wonderful wish to give me a night of passion I will never forget. Well, words can not describe that night, so here I'll give you a recap of it," he said as the images came upon the wall for all to watch.
When the images stopped Rafe turned and looked at Alison and then at Livvie. Both girls had tears running down their faces-he had looked at them just before, and both seemed to be enjoying themselves, but now their lives had been turned upside down. And Rafe's life, well his was swirling around him in confusion. He went and sat down in one of the chairs and closed his eyes.
Ian looked at Lucy and motioned to leave, but first she went over to him and knelt down, "I'm here for you always cousin. Remember that, always," she said grabbing his hands and kissing him on the forehead before leaving. As they left, everyone else followed.
"Caleb, leave-now," said Alison as she looked at him and started to walk over to where Rafe was sitting. "I said NOW!" she yelled, as he tried to grab for Livvie's hand and she flinched away from him and walked on her own accord out of the room. "Rafe, please talk to me," she said kneeling in front of him. "I know you're angry at me and at the world right now. Just let me explain."
"You want to explain now? It's a little late for that, Alison," he said wiping his eyes.
"I know it is-I wanted to tell you so many times about that night. Livvie, she made this stupid wish-somehow it got twisted."
"It's beyond twisted," he said getting up from the chair and starting to walk over to the stairwell.
"Where are you going?" she said thinking he was going to go pack up and leave her.
"I'm getting a broom," he snapped as he started to sweep up the gym. "We need to clean this place up," he said wanting to try and force the thought of Caleb and Alison out of his head for just a little bit longer.

Chris walked into the apartment and threw his keys down, "So much for having a night of fun. There's one thing I know, and that is Alison needs her mother," he said picking up the phone and dialing the number. When he got her voice mail he cursed her name under his breath for not being there then left a message, "Elizabeth, it's Chris. Alison and Rafe hit a rough spot in their marriage tonight, and I just think you should know that she needs you really bad right now. So call her, or me, or just come on home- whatever is so important in London can wait, you are seriously needed here. Call me," he said hanging up the phone, and going to see what he could do to waste the rest of the night doing.
--------
They walked into the apartment in complete silence. It had taken them just over an hour to clean up the gym from the party, and the entire time had been silence. Alison went and sat down on the bed, "Rafe, I want to talk."
"Not right now, in the morning," he said getting his brown coat out of the closet.
"Where are you going now?"
"I need to get out," he said as he looked at her. He knew she was sorry for what had happened, but right now he just needed to get some fresh air-and lots of it. He couldn't believe he was actually wanting to get away from her, but he closed the door behind him and started walking.
----------
Rafe walked into the Elixir and up to the bar. He didn't want to walk out on Alison earlier, but he was just tired. Tired of trying to act like everything was ok-which it was far from being.
"What can I get you, Rafe?" asked Jack as he walked over to where he was sitting.
"I don't care, just make it strong and in multiple quantities."
"I'm guessing you aren't doing well then," he said as he poured a shot.
"How do you expect me to be doing? She slept with Caleb. I mean it could have been anyone else, but why in heaven's name did it have to be him?" he said taking the shot and motioning for more.
"I don't know, but you'll get through this-you two always do."
"Thanks for the bought of confidence, but right now I'm just up for drowning my sorrows," he said taking another shot. It was late, and what he wanted to do was go crawl into the bed, but he couldn't do that-not yet anyways.
"Well, you've come to the right place," he said as he looked up and saw Livvie walk in. "Looks like another newlywed is here to drown her sorrows too," he said as Rafe turned and looked at her as he wondered if this night could be any worse.
----------
She looked out the window and wondered when he'd be home. She figured he just needed some time to relieve tension, and then he'd come home. Her hand landed on her stomach and she looked down, "You have to be Rafe's baby, you just have to be," she said quietly to the child growing inside her. "And hopefully your daddy will forgive me, and then we can start our life that we want."
She looked at the clock, it was late-maybe she should call and see if he went to the Elixir. No, she didn't want him to think she'd already become the nagging housewife. Instead she went and got a cup of yogurt out of the fridge to eat, and went and laid down on the bed.
-------
"Not enjoying the honeymoon either?" asked Rafe as he raised a glass to Livvie before downing another. "Bartender, another please."
"I think you've had enough Rafe," said Jack who poured Livvie a glass of wine.
"How long have you been here Rafe?" asked Livvie, who had never quiet seen him in this condition before.
"Long enough I'm sure for Caleb and Alison to go sneaking off together," he said as he rubbed his eyes.
"When did you become such a cynic?"
"When did you become so needy that you had to make a stupid wish that backfired? Nevermind, all your plans backfire, don't they, Olivia?"
Jack decided to let the two banter back and forth for a few minutes, and went to the other end of the bar to make a phone call, "Hey. Can you come down here? I think Rafe might need some help getting home. Alright, see you in a bit."
"Don't tell me you just called Alison, because I'll leave right now if you did," he said getting off the chair and stumbling slightly.
"I didn't call Alison. I called Ian, figured he could help you get somewhere to sleep for the night," he said as poured Rafe a cup of coffee and waited on Ian.
--------
"You should have punched his lights out," said Ian as he drove Rafe back to Lucy's.
"Yeah, that would have been an extra bonus to tell the kid. We told our friends, and then I punched who we thought might have been your father," laughed Rafe.
"What are you going to do if the baby is Caleb's?"
"It's not Caleb's," he said, his voice getting more serious than it had been most of the night.
"But let's just say it is, Rafe. I don't want to start an argument tonight, but what if in nine months that baby comes out with jet black hair-what are you going to say?"
"I don't know what I'll say or do," said Rafe as he stared out the window and contemplated his next move.
